Corporaf James Jardin, of Vancouver
Barracks, who was Injured In the
wreck of the police patrol automobile
at East Sixth street and Hawthorne
avenue early yesterday, died a few
hours later in the St. Vincent's hospital.
His death was the second resulting
from the accident. Six others who
were hurt are recovering.
A board of investigation, Composed
of Mayor Baker, District Attorney
Evans, Chief of Police Johnson, and
Captain Jenkins, who was in charge
of the police when the accident hap
pened, went to the scene of the wreck
yestelay and informally heard the
testimony of witnesses. They decided
that the accident was unavoidable and
Mayor Baker added that there should be
a careful investigation of the accident
by the coroner and military authorities.
Patrolman" Rekdahl. driver of the
patrol automobile, says he was driv
ing west on HawthorVie avenue at the
rate of 20 miles an hour when a ma
chine, headed south on East Seventh
etreet, appeared Just ahead of him.
He swung the automobile towards the
left side of the street to avoid a col
lision. The car ahead turned west on
the right side of the street and es
caped. Control of Engine Faulty.
The heavy patrol skidded on the
pavement, which had just been flushed
and was covered with thin ice. Cross
ing the street-car tracks, which form
a depression at that point, the bar
leading from the foot control to the
clutch evidently jarred off the ma
chine, making it impossible to throw
the engine out of gear.
The patrol crashed into a telephone
pole, which caught the box structure
in which prisoners are confined and
pulled it entirely off. In the box were
Private Burt Helder, of the Fourteenth
Squadron, stationed at Vancouver Bar
racks; Corporal James Jardin and
Private Ray Barnes, also of Vancouver;
George W. Randall, of 30 North Twen
tieth street; F. K. Stewart, of Thir
teenth and Jefferson, streets, and Pa
trolman Geil.
The civilians and soldiers had been
picked up at East Twelfth street and
Hawthorne avenue, where they were
waiting for a streetcar. The patrol was
returning to the station empty after
answering a burglar call and had in
vited the soldiers and civilians to ride
Into the city.
Death Cornea Suddenly.
Trivate Helder was killed almost in
stantly. Corporal Jardin died of a
fractured skull. All the others were
injured and left lying on the street,
with the exception of Patrolmen Rek
dahl and Breuning, who were on the
driver's seat.
The windshield was pulled off with
the prisoners' box, almost unseating
the two on the driver's seat, but they
Btuck to their positions and continued
the ride, down Hawthorne avenue with
absolutely no control of the wrecked
automobile.
The car lurched over the curbing on
the north side of the street, and went
down the sidewalk like a Juggernaut.
After 40 feet on the sidewalk, it rolled
into the street again and collided witli
an automobile owned by the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company,
which had been parked at East Sixth
street and Hawthorne avenue.
Collision Stop Runaway Machine.
The second collision stopped the run
away machine. The two policemen,
both of whom had been injured severe
ly, descended and went .to the aid of the
men piled on the pavement.
Private Helder was taken to the
Emergency Hospital in a car owned by
Coy Burnett, 411 Bast Thirty-fourth
street. HQnas dead when he arrived
there. The other injured were taken to
the same hospital by the Ambulance
Service Company, and remained there
until morning.
No more fatalities 'are expected.
Police disarmed Patrolman Rekdahl
after the accident, fearing that he
would shoot himself in his distress.
Internes from, the Emergency Hospital
administered a heavy opiate to him,
and sent him home. Patrolman Breun
ing escaped with a lacerated hand,
probably from the broken windshield.
Private Barnes has a fractured clav
icle. Patrolman Geil, who was on the
rear step of the patrol when the colli
sion occurred, has lacerations about the
head and face. He went home yester
day. F. K. Stewart and George W.
Randall have lacerations about the
head. They and Private Barnes are at
St. Vincent's Hospital.
The bodies of the dead soldiers- were
taken to Vancouver Barracks. Deputy
"roner Goetsch said last night that ho
old not know whether there would be
an Inquest or not, inasmuch as the
military authorities seemed to have
taken charge of the affair.
